Corey--
Disabling that would be a BAD idea; many Windows-based viruses propagate by
scouring an infected user's Outlook address book, then sending copies of the
virus to all the people on that list, which those folks are more likely to
open since they appear to come from a trusted source...thus infecting
themselves! The (in)famous 'Love Bug' virus of several years back is a prime
example. So, permanently disabling that Outlook feature would be akin to
taking the locks off your front door because, yeah, sure, they do keep out
the bad guys, but, gosh, it's *such* a hassle to have to use a key every
single time you come home, you know? :)
But don't despair! There are a number of cheap/free products available that
you can install to permanently allow a particular 'violator' access to the
Outlook address book, without letting everyone else in. My favorite is ASO
(http://www.dirfile.com/advanced_security_for_outlook.htm), but there are
many others. Just Google for more.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [mso] Outlook 2003 Access Manager
Hi All,
I've recently got a new mobile phone, and am looking at disabling the
Outlook Address Book security manager - the little pop-up that asks if you
want to allow a 3rd party programme access to Outlook's Address Book.
I'm tired of having to continually click Yes - 10 minutes.
Is there an add-in? Some setting I can check to disable this "feature"?
Cheers,
Corey
